43143 passes the site of Ashbury Crossing, Shrivenham, on 5 April 1996 with the 1B30 14:00 Paddington to Swansea service. How times change. Largely ignore by most photographers at the time, the footbridge here would be teeming with photographers now if there was any chance of an InterCity liveried HST running, which unfortunately there isn't! Of course not only have the HSTs been replaced by the inferior Class 800 EMUs, but also this location has been severely compromised by the 25kv overhead wiring.
